7^ THE ROSE BOOK 



There is a sufficiently wide selection to suit all tastes 

 and spaces. This method of rose growing has the further 

 advantage that it demands a negligible amount of one's 

 time. One has merely to cut out a few old stems as 

 opportunity offers, and, in March, to shorten slightly 

 such side shoots as may have developed on the remaining 

 chief stems. Surely, little enough to ask in view of the 

 wonderful return they give when flowering time comes 

 round.
